Dental ImplantsA dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a periodontist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

Gum Graft SurgeryGum grafts can be used to cover roots or develop gum tissue where absent due to excessive gingival recession. During gum graft surgery, your periodontist takes gum tissue from your palate or another donor source to cover the exposed root. This can be done for one tooth or several teeth to even your gum line and reduce sensitivity.

Gum regenerative procedures

Periodontal Disease TreatmentPeriodontal health should be achieved in the least invasive and most cost-effective manner. This is often accomplished through non-surgical periodontal treatment, including scaling and root planing (a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus [tartar] from deep periodontal pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins), followed by adjunctive therapy such as local delivery antimicrobials and host modulation, as needed on a case-by-case basis.

Periodontal disease treatment & maintenance

Periodontal SurgeryPeriodontal surgery is necessary when your periodontist determines that the tissue around your teeth is unhealthy and cannot be repaired with non-surgical treatment. Following are the four types of surgical treatments most commonly prescribed:

Pocket Reduction Procedures

Regenerative Procedures

Dental Crown Lengthening

Gum Graft Surgery

Extractions

Surgical removal of wisdom teeth

Patient Testimonies

“I had gum grafts done with Dr. Tran and would recommend him and his team. He is extremely detailed, he has a great personality, and is a master at his art."

- Lori S.

"I was so scared to have implant surgery, but Dr. Nguyen answered all of my questions and made me feel so much better about going through with it. Afterwards I was pleasantly surprised that I had very little discomfort and everything had gone quickly and smoothly. She even called me after the procedure to see how I was doing!"
